TALE OF THE SUN AND MOON

Sun
A fiery ball of light ablaze
horizon suffused with rays
light streaks in hues of yellow
day all alive and aglow.
At day's end, sun slips behind
mantles of dark clouds bind
in nature's glory it basks
the moon it meets at dusk.

Moon
Silvery moon, full and bright
ethereal goddess of the night
radiant in her serenity
oblivious of her immortality
lends her luminescence
to the starlit skies iridescent
in her lonesome, a beguiling light
against the dark spell of the night.


Through the night, she reigns
slowly the evening fades away
orb's disk of light a waning
at dawn's break, sun arising
Moon’s shy and mesmerizing gaze
wrapped in Sun’s fiery embrace.

To the one moon, he bids adieu
Sun kissed morning drops of dew
of every petal fresh and pale
oh, the endless rhymes and tale !
